Serie A: Napoli manager expects Osimhen to defend title
Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri wants Victor Osimhen to return to his best form as soon as possible after the Nigerian secured a 2-1 away win against Atalanta on Saturday night.
Osimhen came off the bench and led Elf Elmas to the winning goal at Bergamo’s Jewis Stadium.
It was the Serie A champions’ striker’s first goal since injuring his hamstring during international duty last month.
Mazzarri had kind words for the talismanic striker when he took over the Serie A champions last week.
“I didn’t have to be Napoli manager to know that Osimhen is a good striker, because I watched him play!”
“Fortunately he’s back and I hope he gets back on track as soon as possible,” he said.
The 24-year-old has scored six goals in nine appearances for Napoli this season.
